Alpha Ketoanalogue Tablet (Double Strength)
Ketorapid DS
Ketorapid DS is a specialized nutritional therapeutic supplement. It is formulated with Alpha Ketoanalogue (Double Strength). The medicine is designed specifically for chronic kidney disease management. This advanced formulation provides essential amino acid precursors. It doesn’t contribute to excess nitrogenous waste. The medicine supports nutritional status whole reducing the metabolic burden on compromised kidneys.
Composition: Alpha Ketoanalogue Tablet (Double Strength)
Benefits
Slows CKD progression: It helps delay the advancement of chronic kidney disease, especially in predialysis pateints.
Supports protein nutrition: Supplies essential amino acids without burdening the kidneys.
Improves metabolic efficiency: The medicine works best as part of a restricted protein dietary plan, recommended for CKD.
Maintains muscle mass: The medicine prevents protein energy malnutrition as well as muscle wasting common in renal in insufficiency.
How It Works
Ketorapid DS contains ketoanalogues of essential amino acids. These act as nitrogen-free precursors. In the body, they are transaminated into amino acids. That is done by drawing nitrogen from non-essential sources. This reduces the formation of urea and other waste products. These are the wastes that failing kidneys struggle to excrete. In fact, this metabolic pathway reduces kidney workloads and favors nutritional balance as a whole.
How to Use
Administration: Take the medicine orally with or after meals as prescribed by your nephrologist.
Dosage: This is mostly determined by body weight and clinical condition. It is mostly calculated as a fraction of tablet per kg od body weight per day. This is divided into multiple doses. Follow your healthcare provider’s guidance.

FAQs
Q – What is Ketorapid DS used for?
A – Ketorapid DS is used as a nutritional supplement in chronic kidney disease. It reduces uremic toxins and support protein metabolism.
Q – How does Alpha Ketoanalogue work in the body?
A – It converts into essential amino acids by using body nitrogen. This lowers the ureal levels and reduces the kidney’s metabolic load.
Q – Can Ketorapid DS delay dialysis?
A – Yes, when it is combines with a low protein diet and when it is under medical supervision.
Q – Are there any side effects of this supplement?
A – Mild gastrointestinal effects and increased calcium levels are possible.
Q – Should I take Ketorapid DS with food?
A – Yes, with food because it increases absorption and thus its effectiveness.
